This was such a cool photo of the ropes and chains on this old fishing boat docked at MacMillan Pier. You can see that they have have been well-used over many years out on the water.

“I cursed the day and the buckshot spray
and I cursed the incessant motion.
And I cursed the wind and I cursed the tide
and I cursed the Atlantic Ocean.
Then I cursed all the knots in that snarl of pots,
and every damned inch of rope.
But the only thing I wouldn’t curse,
I wouldn’t curse my boat.”
